When the Algorithm Fires You: Uber Faces €825M Fine

Dutch regulators fined Uber 825 million euros under GDPR for suspending drivers via fully automated decisions without human review or disclosure.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) fined Uber 824,990,000 euros (~$964M) for making fully automated decisions to deactivate drivers' accounts between 2018 and 2022 without any human review, violating GDPR limits on automated decision-making, and for failing to inform drivers that automated systems were deciding. The penalty is Uber's fourth from the Dutch regulator and exceeds its previous record 290 million euro fine from 2024 over data transfers to the US. Uber says it has stopped the cited practices and is appealing both the decision and the fine amount.

Risky Bulletin: White House lets private companies carry out offensive cyber ops

A White House memo directs DHS to create a program letting vetted private companies conduct US-government-directed offensive cyber operations against cybercrime.

A presidential memo tasks the DHS National Coordination Center with building a program, under DOJ and DHS oversight, through which private-sector companies can conduct offensive cyber operations against large-scale cybercrime organizations. Requirements include secure facilities, vetted personnel, a $1 million escrow for damages, and written approvals co-signed by DHS and DOJ executive directors. The program must launch within 60 days, around October 11, expanding a March executive order targeting scam compounds, ransomware, and other large-scale cybercrime.
